I’ve activated Remote Engine Start, however, I’m not ready to leave yet. What should I do?

Use the timer feature to select your desired departure time in order to get your MINI ready at a comfortable temperature before you leave. And if things are moving more slowly than planned? Not a problem, as the system shuts off automatically after 15 minutes. Remote Engine Start can also be stopped manually by using your MINI App or MINI Key Fob.

 

Alternatively, you can activate the Remote Engine Start feature immediately with just one tap in the MINI App and your MINI will adjust to a comfortable temperature in 15 minutes. Please note: as an eco-friendly feature Remote Engine Start will only start two times remotely before needing to start your engine from inside the vehicle.
